I have tried to write an article for this week and last week’s online newspaper publication, and I noticed that I had literally no idea what to write about. So, I thought I would discuss some ways to gain inspiration to help with writer’s block:
- Listen to Music
Whenever I can’t write, I try to listen to music to boost my thinking just a bit. This usually works for me.
- Go For a Drive
This is one I use if I have a lot of time, and I want to get out of my house. Another great choice.
- Self Reflection
Think about your day or week and take some inspiration from the things you did. I’ve had some success with this when I really have no thoughts about what to write.
- Go Outside
This one is very relaxing to do, and it works very well.
- Read Other People’s Writings
Take some inspiration from people who are much better than you at writing: read some books or poems to try to kickstart your creative thinking.
I hope this helps a little bit if you ever get stuck trying to write an article or essay that you are unsure of what the topic will be!
